Bald Eagle
Took the kids for a “forced field trip” yesterday. We found this guy/gal hanging out on top of a tree. It was one of two eagles we found.

Long Lenses
Long lenses have always been something I’ve used in my photography. When I first got a film body in the 90s I had a 70-300mm variant. I’ve since gone through four camera systems (canon, nikon, canon again, fuji and now sony). On each system I’ve had a long lens of some sort. They basically fall…

Sunday Drive
Photoshop? Maybe… The honest truth is I did combine 2 images. The moon is NOT enlarged -vs- the frame it was shot in, but I did zoom out to get more clouds into the shot, then used a tighter shot of the moon so it took more space in the frame. This is with my…

Long Lens Fun!
I was invited to actually surf today. Instead I took the camera along and had some fun but stayed warm and dry! I’m working on a Sony 200-600mm review but figured I’d share 4 images from today. I’ve got a ton more surging images to edit but figured I’d get one done tonight. Enjoy.

24GM!
Long time no blog. Yeah, I need to work on that. Yes we’ve moved to Montana. Yes this year/spring/summer/fall has been a blur. I’ll work on better updates… BUT! Sony released a fast 24mm lens! This was my daily lens for the PADs I did back when the kids were born. I’ve switch systems (twice!)…

Bella and I went to Ousel Falls this weekend. We had a great hike and came home with a few worthy images.

Eagles!
I love seeing bald eagles. Both of these are nests close to the road where eagles are usually there anytime except winter.
